Never.

Fear woke me this morning.

I punched fear in the face and got on with my day.

Nuff said.

We need each other.

This has been a tough year. For most of us, I suspect.

I gave myself permission to stop trying to move forward and just breathe. I enjoyed The US Open Golf tournament.

The winner dealt with unimaginable adversity. So much so, beloveds, he had basically shot himself out of the tournament.

Then, storms rolled in. A 90 minute delay ensued. He used this time to remind himself he was STILL in it. He came storming out of the delay, pun intended.

In the span of 90 minutes, this man used the storm to reset himself.

I am trying to do the same. It’s not over for me. Even though it FEELS like it is.

Be encouraged. Encourage someone else. We all need one another.

These times SHALL pass.

In the meantime, have a cup of tea or coffee. Read a book. Reach out to a friend. Don’t suffer in silence, beloveds. Your needs are just as important as anyone else’s.

My want to refused to let me.

I wanted to quit.

I meant it this time!

I was tired, beloveds. Tired of the grind. Tired of feeling old. Tired of the lonely.

I quit!

A funny thing happened, though, on the way to quit…

My want to got up. Day said “let’s go!”. The Universe had a cup of coffee ready. God has a pat on the shoulder waiting. Life had a nice boot to the rear all teed up and waiting to deliver said boot to my posterior!

I found my try waiting with my phone and headphones. Joy had the music cranked up.

My chair was waiting for a good chair dance.

How could I stay pitiful with want to acting such a fool!

I just stopped by to deliver a boot to the rear of someone in need.

Get up!

We got thangs to do!

Quit is NOT a word in our vocabulary.

Try harder.

Pound on that door harder.

Stop using age and or lack as an excuse.

Stop using lack of knowledge as an excuse.

I say these things to me first, beloveds.

Maybe the fight is so hard because we are on the verge of our breakthrough? Let’s find out, eh?

I was talking to a friend and admitting I don’t know HOW to get on the other side of this particular fear of being old. I’ve decided to drag old with me everywhere. It will either get bored or get in line.

Be encouraged. I’m fixing to go make some more corny videos to encourage someone. Whatcha going to do with your doubts and fears?

It’s okay to take some time for YOU.

I am giving myself permission to take some time. For ME.

Everything in me wants to rush over to my laptop and keep trying to find a way. Okay, everything in me wants to rest and do absolutely nothing for a week, but guilt keeps telling me I have to keep myself available.

I’m used to being available. All my working life, I took immense pride in ALWAYS being available.

My tired is terribly tired. I want to do nothing more strenuous than determining what snack to have with what movie.

Dare I do so, beloveds?

I think I dare.

I have been needing a stretch of time off forever. Now that I have the time off, because of the tornado, I am finding it difficult to just chillax and let things play out as they need to.

I want to KNOW what’s next. God just wants me to be still and know He IS God, as the good book says.

It’s okay to take a time out. The US Open starts tomorrow, so I am going to enjoy some β›³ and continue watching old movies.

Give yourself permission to take some time for you.

Turn on the lights, would you please?

I’m trying to figure things out. I’m trying to keep laughing through these dark days.

Keep laughing, beloveds. Find the joy in your day. It’s there. Don’t allow anything or anyone to steal your joy.

Take your mind off your struggles. We are much more than our struggles.

I hope the lampshade made you smile. It helped me take my mind off of my fret this morning.

Have an amazing today.

Everything will be okay.

I have been anxious. I don’t know why.

Okay, I know why, beloveds, but pretending I don’t so I won’t have to admit I don’t know what to do about this πŸ—» mountain I have not been able to make ANY headway up/over/around.

Since I couldn’t move my πŸ—» mountain, I decided to see what I could do to remove a pebble or two from someone else’s.

Insodoing, I find my πŸ—» mountain doesn’t look as daunting as it did a while ago.πŸ₯°

Life is short. Enjoy your day. Even the mountainous parts!

I made β˜• coffee and invited anxious to tell me what all the fret and fuss was about. Anxious stomped off in a huff. πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ πŸ˜‚

We shall all be alright, aite?

Take care of your beautiful heart.

Stuck.

I’m stuck. I texted this to my support:

I’m scared to take the last step I need to start my channel. I’m scared I will fail. I’m scared no one will care. I’m scared period. I’m mad at myself for being afraid. I’m stuck and not sure how to move past this part. What do I do with me now? Asking for a friend.

If anyone knows the answer, let me know. My fraidy πŸ™€ cat I awfully afraid just now. No idea why. Crapola.πŸ˜³πŸ™€πŸ€‘πŸ§“

Just stopped by to send some love.

Have a wonderful day. Do something just for YOU.Β  Cut yourself some slack. Take some time to rest. Stop feeling guilty for having the need to rest a bit. I have been fighting this phenomenon for days.

I think these constant storms are finally taking their toll.

Be encouraged, beloveds. We are loved.
